Yes, the word dungarees made me think denim pants/jeans,
but when I clicked on the link it was to overalls (at least that's what we call them here).
Are they called jumpers elsewhere ?
I hear UK tv shows refer to jumpers, but was unsure what was meant by that.

Jumpers or overalls, I think really overalls, I never heard them refered to as dungarees.
